Parking Games

Parking games ask for one specific thing: get a vehicle into a marked spot without touching anything on the way. It looks easy until you're in a long car with little room and a pillar right where you don't want one. This section has more than 120.

Which vehicles you get

It's not all cars. With SUV Parking Simulator 3D, Hard Car Parking Modern Drive or Realistic Parking you drive regular cars, but you can also park a school bus in School Bus Simulation, another bus in Modern Bus Parking Adventure, a motorcycle in Advance Bike Parking Game or a train in Park my train. Change the size and you change completely how you have to maneuver.

The Parking Fury series (1, 2 and 3) is a good pick if you want to work your way up gradually. If you fancy a bit of fantasy, Mario Kart Parking or Christmas Eve Parking change the scenery. And Parallel Parking focuses on parking beside the curb, which is the one many people find hardest.

Variants that aren't about driving

Unblock Parking Puzzle is something else: a puzzle where you free a car from a jammed lot by moving the others, without really driving. If you'd rather think than step on the gas, look there.

How the levels get harder

In many games here, the first levels have wide spots and, bit by bit, cones, other parked cars, tighter gaps and reversing maneuvers show up. Scoring is often by stars, based on bumps and time. It's worth repeating a level until you get the top rating before moving on, because that trains what the next ones demand.

Tips

Most games penalize bumps and sometimes time. Bumps cost you more than time does: go slowly, watch the space around the whole car, and use reverse to correct instead of forcing a turn that doesn't fit.

For parallel parking, start reversing with the wheel turned toward the curb and straighten out once the rear is in. In reverse the front of the car swings the opposite way from what you expect, which fools you at first; once you notice it, you improve a lot. If the game lets you switch the camera, try it: seeing the car from above helps.
